31 Nepalis die of COVID-19 in UK

LONDON: At least 31 Non-resident Nepalis (NRNs) have
succumbed to the coronavirus infection in the United Kingdom, according
to Embassy of Nepal in London. This includes three women.

The Nepali embassy has received reports of 31 Nepalis falling victim
to COVID-19, informed Sharad Raj Aran, Spokesperson at the embassy.

However, the news reports, and Gorkha Welfare Trust which also
maintain a separate record, put the toll to 33 or more. The Trust
maintains records of the ex-Gurkha army personnel only, said Gyari
Ghale, officer at the trust.

The number of deaths due to COVID-19 could be higher, as the families
who suffer deaths may not inform the media. Furthermore, the hospital
management do not make the death public without the consent of the
concerned families.
